PERSONALIZED SIGNS

Personalized signs come in all shapes, sizes and forms and they also have different functions. "Joe's Roadside Sport's Tavern" and "Sarah's Delicious Blueberry Pies" are generally more memorable and useful for a home decorator or business owner than "Tavern" or "Kitchen". To customize your business or brand onto a sign is seen as more thought out and professional. They can also make great gag gifts or humorous wall ornaments.

Custom personalized signs can be sports themes, fishing and nautical themes, travel themes, vacation spots, road sign themes, biker themes, military, office, hobbies, legal, medical, funny, entertainment, men and women, organizations, clubs. The list can go on and on. They can be displayed in bars, pubs, restaurants, coffee houses, smoking parlors, kitchens, bedrooms, basements, gardens, businesses, and offices.

Custom signs are different shapes, sizes and materials. They can be as small as a foot and as large as a billboard. Many sign shapes are traditional rectangles and circles, but many are shaped as stop signs or street signs and depend largely on their message. Victorian era and earlier signs tend to be more customized in shape and hand-written in cursive fonts. Bar and sports signs tend to be flashier and brighter whereas "Bill's Gone Fishing" is going to be best with a relaxed font and a plain image. Personalized signs can be made of various materials including metal, neon, wood, and plastic. Thin metal and plastic signs tend to be cheaper and easier to make with machines, while wood signs can be handcrafted on beautiful and exotic woods with routers and hand tools. Attention grabbing custom neon signs are usually more involved to make but can still be relatively inexpensive.

As great and as funny a personalized sign can be, don't overlook their effectiveness as a marketing tool. You can convey your business message effectively with even just a one-line message under your brand. The principles of sign marketing still apply with custom signs. Attention grabbing and message conveying at a glance.
